Accessors for the 'dispersionFunction' slot of a DESeqDataSet object.

Description

The dispersion function is calculated by estimateDispersions and used by varianceStabilizingTransformation. Parametric dispersion fits store the coefficients of the fit as attributes in this slot.

Usage

dispersionFunction(object, ...)

dispersionFunction(object, ...) <- value

## S4 method for signature 'DESeqDataSet'
dispersionFunction(object)

## S4 replacement method for signature 'DESeqDataSet,function'
dispersionFunction(object) <- value

Arguments

object

a DESeqDataSet object.

...
